"You’re shocked?" The Lord repeated and continued, "If I were the enemy, you would have died by now based on your poor reactions earlier."
Gu Xijiu twitched her mouth and decided not to argue with him.
Indeed, he was right. If he stabbed her just now instead of tapping on her shoulder... However, how many people out there possessed such powerful Kung Fu like The Lord? She has never seen anyone else who could do the same. It was as though he just appeared from thin air!
If it were someone else, she would have sensed it when they were about three meters away. She would not even allow them to come any closer. Hence, the incident which he brought up would not happen at all!
"There are more than 10 people in this world who could appear like what I did just now…" The Lord knew her as though he had a worm inside her stomach. She was surprised. With that, he then said coldly, "You’ll definitely be in deep sh*t if one of them want to kill you!"
Gu Xijiu was even more surprised and raised her head when she heard 10 people had such amazing Kung Fu in this world!
"Why are you looking at me with such a shocked expression?" The Lord slowly added, "I did not even use my core power when I appeared earlier." In other words, he did not even use 1/100 of his Kung Fu...
Gu Xijiu was sweating; she definitely understood his message. Her face was hot, and she admitted her mistakes, "It was my fault, I should’ve paid more attention just now."
The Lord looked at her blushing face and slowly asked, "Had too much fun and then became careless?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
The Lord continued, "You seemed to have had quite a lot of fun in the last few days, I’m happy for you. However, I want you to be happier, how’s your progress on the homework?"
Gu Xijiu’s face turned pale.
Both of them looked at each other for quite some time. He then tapped on her shoulder and said gently, "Look, I'm sure you've done it quite well. I'm really glad and can't wait to see your performance. Follow me!"
Gu Xijiu secretly howled with grief in her heart.
That was the time when extreme joy turned to sorrow!
...
The Luminous Pearl seemed to have sensed its master’s return as it slowly brightened up and shone. The hall immediately became bright as though it was daytime.
That was The Lord's house, and all the displays remained the same when The Lord left. If she had to tell the difference, it would be the dust at the corners of the house.
The Lord had left for six days, so it was normal for the furniture to be dusty.
The Lord's gaze scanned the house and looked at her, "Did you think I was not coming back anymore? Have you cleaned the house?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She was so busy in the last few days and did not even tidy up her own bed. Of course, she did not think of cleaning his place. But, she could not say it that way at the moment. Gu Xijiu lowered her head and answered, "Xijiu dared not simply enter your house."
That was quite a good excuse. Since The Lord did not allow anyone to enter his house, even the four messengers did not dare to...
The Lord looked at her with a strange expression, "I see, you sound so obedient huh?"
Gu Xijiu answered, "Nothing new."
"Hmmm. Since you’re so obedient, I’m sure you’ve got your homework done? Not bad! Let’s have a test then, I’ll reward you if you perform well but I’m going to punish you if you’re underperforming."
Gu Xijiu cried in her heart. She looked out to the sky and tried to bargain, "My Lord, since it's quite late already and you've been traveling here and there, would you want to have a rest and do the test tomorrow?"
"You want me to miss the appointment?"
"Huh?" Gu Xijiu had not managed to respond to his question.
"I’ve promised to check your homework on the sixth day, and today is the sixth day. How could I simply break the promise?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent for a short moment and then coughed, "I’m afraid you might be exhausted… My Lord, it’s really fine even you break the promise! I mean it...?
"It’s great that you’re so understanding." The Lord seemed to be glad and looked around, "It’s so dirty here, there is not even a place for me to sit…"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She thought in her head, "My Lord, you could just wave your sleeve, and everything would be cleaned as usual..." Apparently, he wanted her to clean it.
To obtain some favors when he checks her homework later, Gu Xijiu decided not to argue and quickly rolled up her sleeves to clean, "Xijiu will clean it."
The Lord was pleased with her and nodded, "Alright, you clean this place, and I’ll just take a break at your place." He then disappeared instantly.
Gu Xijiu was shocked and kept silent. She almost cried.
Gosh! My Lord, my nest is worse than here though.
...
The door was opened, and a purple shadow arrived in a rush, "Shiuuu!"
The mussel rushed forward, "Master! You’re finally back!"
The purple shadow was Lu Wu. Unfortunately, it flew away before it got to cuddle with the person who just came in, while the mussel has been stepped on its shell and could not move at all.
Lu Wu went back under the blanket. Its body was upside down, and its nine tails were wagging. It was not their master; it was The Lord!
The mussel felt its shell was locked, "My… My Lord…"
The Lord flew in and saw everything in the house.
The bed was messy, and Lu Wu was lying under the blanket with its eyes staring at The Lord.
There was a round nest at the left corner with a soft cushion inside, and the cushion seemed to have a shallow pit in it. It was probably the mussel's den.
There was also a rectangular nest at the right corner of the room, and there was a mat inside. The Wind Caller was standing on it with a pair of weird shoes on its head.
Its characteristic was different from Lu Wu's which was clingy and naive. It was also different from the mussel which was overly expressive. The Wind Caller was a gentle mythological animal, it always walked like a gentleman and brought the house slippers to Gu Xijiu whenever she came back.
The Lord’s smile had gone away when he looked at the two creatures and then looked at Lu Wu who was hiding in the blanket. There were three majestic beings in the bedroom, and one had even climbed up to the bed.
Was she keeping majestic beings or raising pets?
He did not expect the little girl treated her majestic beings so nicely.
One's favorite things would always be their weakness, and it was easy for people to exploit it. Therefore, it would affect one's sense of judgment. It was fine if someone else lost their sense of judgment but she could not.
He gently waved his sleeve, and the chair he was looking at was immediately cleaned. He sat down and then observed the three majestic beings in the room silently.
The mussel felt numb and nervous from being stared at, and it accidentally said something inappropriate, "My Lord, what brings you back? Master is going to cry this time…"
The Lord was speechless.
